Describing the Factions in one sentence.

Potentially fun little exercise in revealing the varying Faction identities that have developed over the years based on player experiences. In your words, describe each Faction as a whole on your Server/Camp in a single sentence, (while attempting to not insult them). I'll try to start,

Xbox NA, (Blackreach) I can't speak for the other Camps.

Pact: Disorganized rabble of underdog solo & small group players driven to resist out of spite and heart, constantly on the backfoot yet somehow still winning Camps.
Covenant: An Army of skilled solo players who have found the ability to cooperate in mass though success has corrupted sportsmanship.
Dominion: A collection of the most powerful small groups with an unhealthy obsession with Bleakers and all their farming fury aimed squarely at Red.

    For PC/EU Gray Host:

    Pact: Where abandoning your siege is forbidden by law.
    Covenant: Where playing in a ballgroup doesn't mean you should stack with fewer than 40 people.
    Dominion: Where the real PVP happens in zone chat.

    We all have our quirks. ;)

    PC/NA Gray Host, from the perspective of a Pact player

    Pact: We don't want Alessia, we just want to paint the front door with our blood.

    Covenant: We want Chalman, but we forgot our siege weapons back at Bleakers.

    Dominion: We'll defend this bridge farm harder than we will most of our keeps (except Alessia, you can't have that one.)

    That is way too familiar of how our AD used to be a long while ago, when Bridges used to be the place for two zergs to go at it. I think that died down after they made them destructible.

    Done this one before. Here's the lore perspective.

    Pact: "I hate all of you, but I hate the other guys more. Let's stop being xenophobic biggots for 5 minutes so we can wage war." - Nords and Dunmer say to the Argonians.

    DC: King unites kingdoms for war, and is more cool with vampires than he is with orcs.

    AD: Xenophobic elves want the throne, but one less xenophobic elf wants to do with cats instead of using cats.

    I love these, and it's incredible how similar our two Pacts are.

    Pact: We lack guilds & organized groups right now but make up for it in solos handling things. Also, The Chalamo is ours and only ours.

    DC: Used to feel like a legitimate threat, now they just kinda do their own thing, fun to fight.

    AD: Will bring the server to take a outpost, has potential to be a good alliance but lacks damage due to everyone running a tank or healer.

    This always cracks me up. Having played all 3 factions over the years I know that Team Green/Orange/Purple is actually pretty rare and always temporary, but every faction has players that endessly whine about it in zone, even when they've just been at a 3-way battle where the other 2 factions were clearly also fighting each other.

    That being said, your comment about AD's PvDoor habit is pretty spot on. They do a pretty good job at keeping DC off-balance a lot of the time having to fall back and defend Rayles or Glademist.

    "Ok, we finally have our group of 75"

    This definitely sounds more like EP on Ravenwatch, especially during the most recent campaign, but also generally.

    EDIT: Scratch that, I'm thinking of Blackreach.
